someone took a picture of this elderly woman in a tub with produce.
AntonCrowley
Never will anything be more crazy.
Afancyally
It's actually her granddaughter that took all the pictures of her :)
LoPan
I didn't know I needed to see 25 pictures of an old Japanese lady and her cat. Thank you OP.
greymouser7
Is that the name of the immortal villain from Big trouble in little China?
LoPan
yes and he loves pictures of old Japanese ladies and their cats lol
Julian67
That woman looks like she loves life! :)
GreenTeaParty
That was my first thought too. What a beautiful happy soul and her other beautiful happy soul.
branje1824
Yeah. WTF is wrong with me?
kirika3791
I bet they are really Inari, (the cat certainly is) and when they leave the earth, i want to bring offerings to their shrine!
SuburbanRobotsThatMonitorReality
I'll make that trip with you. I just want to adopt that lady and learn to live so simply.
HorseSausage
The cutest thing? The cutest thing.
spacemountain
No. The cutest thing.
BeautyandtheBeardtheGingerEdition
That cat is ridiculously gorgeous.

I love the face of the cat as he's eating the cake. Those ears!
hooray4dolphins
Forget men, this is the kind of love I want.
TheDogEnd
I am very comforted by this.
amunas24
I want a movie, a cat version of Marley and me.... But it ends with snuggles and a free kitten!
Flymolo30
They are gonna move to a nice farm....right....RIGHT?!?
totesamaze
Does anyone else not wonder why she is taking a bath with pumpkins?
Mybuttstinksgood
I think the cat is preparing to eat her
WillJeSuis
Nope.
Curiopath
I did, then I figured fuck it. She's lived long enough to do whatever the hell she wants, I'm not even going to question it.
totesamaze
Which one of you little fuckers just downvoted my comment, I saw you, I will find you.

Pumpkin misao soup. Japanese delicacy
AntonCrowley
Never question an old lady with a cat. Ever.
Proudfoots
Especially if she is Japanese.
BigfootSiege
She looked 18 two years ago.
AmyBethMegJo
I believe she is still 18 on the inside!
TehNoobinator117
That's waysist!

Van cat. This special breed colored eyes, who lives in the ancient Armenian city of Van. Wang is now in Turkey after the Armenian Genocide.
Valitus
This cat reminds me of Benedict Cumberbatch.

Can this be an anime movie? Miyazaki come back!
JesusVEVO
I should take in a stray cat and name him Fukumaru.

I pronounced it "Fuck you, Maru"

That cat makes me uncomfortable. The brown eye stared right into my soul.
moxymox
The blue eye was looking at my junk.
pretzelnugget
That one was all over the place.
Thor561
I often have that problem when I'm staring into someone's brown eye.
pretzelnugget
You make it sound like this is a common occurrence. I don't know what to make of this situation.
happylittleduck
This is just the sweetest thing ever. My cat just bites my feet and pukes in my shoes.
Odrahlag
I... I dont think so... but in the second to last they seem to be sleeping right? They are sleeping, Right!?
OldIronsides
I... I hope so...
AngryGayMan
As a man, this just may be the cutest thing I have ever seen. Ever.
pinkcris
The old lady and the cat... the most adorable duo ever.
comicreader
woman, agree.
SashaTheGray
~ Produced by Cats Inc. to counter the recent image of cats as cold scheming killers.
AgentQ72
That paw holding her hand kind of got to me. It's adorable.
rainboom
my kitty does that with me, too :') it gives me The Fuzzies
Khai257
Me too brudda... me too...

Did I just watch a Miyazaki film??
TheSuspense
Not yet...
agumonkey
Apparently this is just normal life in Japan
suburbanhyena
im afraid to view the rest - who dies?
SomethingReallyAmusing
Like all Miyazaki films, I would watch the shit out of that movie.
wastronaut
Watching spirited away and browsing imgur.
RhealityBytes
It's not a Miyazaki film and it damn well should be
SuburbanRobotsThatMonitorReality
They did already. Clearly this is Haru and Muta, from 'Whispers of the Heart'.

when he retires from his retired retirement, he simply returns to retirement and becomes retired.
AntonCrowley
Yes.
halcyonfox
Calm down you guys. I just emailed a link to studio ghibli for them to see.
stimelstomo
Thats TOTALLY the nanny from totoro which i just watched tonight!
Hovenbeet

Hoozits
No, but Miyazaki should turn this into a film! Or at least studio Ghibli.
Assbandit
I shed many a manly tears when Miyazaki said he was retirning from film making. But I think his son is very talented as well so :D!
UnemployedReceptionist
Should we start a petition to get Studio Ghibli to make this into a film?
JoeFuzzy
Agreed! I would buy the shit out of that blu-ray.
nomimalone
The thing about Japan is that it all kinda seems like a Miyazaki film.
NekoKuro7
I wish it was!!!
Kidsplayingwithawoodenduck
quite a good question sir.
Idonthavealottosay
No, this is just the way of Japanese life style san

Not sure why she was bathing with pumpkins but hey I've done worse
notbipolorbiwinning
If she invites you over for dinner... Politely decline

It is a Japanese squashing machine..... (i just groaned at this comment and had to fight myself to hit enter)
Proudfoots
I once woke up in a bathtub covered in shaving cream and soy sauce. Good times.
citrusnotpumpkins
they are japanese citrus that are usually too bitter to consumer. its used to be a staple in the older generation because citrus was cheap
makerofsandwiches
Eyyyyy I'm not the only one who bathes in citrus fruits! Except my family does it on lunar new year.
Locatelli
I used to do it as a kid but it was with peels not the whole fruit...
ILikeWeirdMusic
Actually those are Yuzu, a Japanese citrus that are sometimes put in baths on special days like Winter Solstice. They're very fragrant.
ronswansonisthereasonihaveadadfetish
I'm more concerned with what the purpose of that pink thing with two holes is, hanging from the wall...
catmanuel
They are yuzu, a kind of citrus, and in Japan, people bathe in yuzu for the winter solstice to stave off certain illnesses.
CrapSac
I've done so much stupid shit that I can't judge anyone for anything.
supercottonman
They look like persimmons to me. But that still doesn't answer the question.
TheDamDog
IIRC persimmons symbolize longevity and positive progression of age. They're bitter when young, but become sweet when ripe.
drwhoooovian
That's probably one of the best things of symbolism I've ever heard.

You've bathed with old ladies dressed as a pumpkin too?
queenelizabeth17
Why is someone taking a picture of her bathing with pumpkins?

franfam
Yuzuyu. Its a custom during the winter solstice
LegiblePoet
I thought she was bathing and washing her fruit; it's eco-friendly.
TheMostFuriousOfAbysses
"washing her fruit" if you know what i mean

Solstice...I love that word
